I have been dating this guy for 6 months...thought he was truly amazing....we just clicked. So we have slowly started to talk about the future.

I can only have one kid naturally....the rest I will have to adopt....I have cervical complications from way back when. That has never ever bothered me. I'm fine with adoption and I'm fine with my own children. Either way adopted or mine.....I'm happy.

This is no good to him. He insists that he has AT LEAST two children with his DNA. Families in India are having ten children while here in North America the average is 2. That is unacceptable to him. He thinks it's an imbalance and he doesn't want his DNA wiped from this Earth.

I told him I'd be willing to look into surrogacy/freezing eggs/fertility treatments/etc. This is not good enough for him.

I'm devastated. Six months is not a long time but I thought we were solid.

What are your opinions on this?? Is he shallow? I feel like less of a woman knowing I can't have more than one child naturally. I've never felt bad about that till now. Now I question so many things.

Obviously he never truly cared about me....I ask myself how I could have made such a wrong choice.

my advice is to stay away from guys who have riigid ideas about what their future will entail, especially when it comes to something that should be decided on emotion (like how many kids you have with your wife)

Well, I'm also glad you went away from that guy. I mean it's unacceptable for a guy to act like this with a person like you ( I don't know you but you really seem like a nice person who puts his trust into the one he likes/love).

Sorry to be so blunt but I have to go work out: No quality guy dumps a girl for that reason. Someone worried about balancing out the birth rate (in India) through their own genitals is bat-poop crazy, anyways.

Plenty of fish in the ocean. Why you were a part of his catch and release program is irrelevant, just be more choosy in the future and don't settle for any guy.

I've been with the same great woman nearly 8 years and if we broke up it would be a pretty big adjustment. That being said, I could find another girl in a few minutes. If someone like me has no difficulty, everyone else should be fine.
